Not Every Man Lives

.

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?

Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?

Have you ever climbed up on a water tower,

To write a name?

.

The truth is every man dies,

Not every man lives.

.

Have you ever loved someone that you would die for?

Have you ever walked too far out on a limb?

Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for,

And pulled it in?

.

The truth is every man dies,

But not every man lives.

.

I wanna paint outside the lines,

Run the red lights in my mind,

Take everything one lifetime has to give.

I wanna stand inside the fire,

Walk blind-folded on a wire.

Every man dies,

But not every man lives.

.

Have you ever thought about how fast time passes?

Ever thought about what you would leave behind?

Ever stood up for something you believed in,

And drawn a line?

.

The truth is every man dies,

But not every man lives.

.

I wanna paint outside the lines,

Run the red lights in my mind,

Take everything one lifetime has to give.

I wanna stand inside a fire,

Walk blind-folded on a wire.

Every man dies,

But not every man lives.

.

I wanna stand inside a fire,

Walk blind-folded on a wire.

Every man dies,

But not every man lives.

.

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?

Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?
